-No cutting of $30.00 staff/faculty discount for parking, but parking fees will be increased

-Brenda asked about using the $30.00 toward bus pass, President Roark will look into this with ASMSU.

-E-mail for all classified employees:

President Roark has talked to PEC about this and they do realize that something needs to be done

Carol pointed out that it has been frustrating from CEPACíS perspective because this discussion has been going on for over 1Ĺ years

President Roark will talk to Tom Stump and see where this issue is at

-Salary increases will remain for the classified employees, will not be touched in budget cuts

-President Roark stated that we are at the "end of the rope" for budget cuts, there needs to be long range goals in place

-Kathy brought up Banner and money set-aside for implementation and training:

Is there compensation for the classified employees that have had to implement and train others for Banner? (Some of these employees have put in 50-80 hours a week with no overtime, etc)

Compensation has been added into budget projections and will be asked to be funded by the legislature

-Board of Regents suggested guidelines for balancing budgets, according to President Roark are the following:

Maintain a 2% reserve (which at present needs to be built up)

Funding based on enrollment- when enrollment increases this cushion is achievable, however when enrollment decreases the $ effect is immediate

Libraries need increased $$

Technology needs increased $$

Increase staff development opportunities

Operation/maintenance should be around 13%

-Athletics budget crunch:

Will see a balanced budget in the next 2 years

They will be in the red this year, but should be in the black by the year 2001-02

Student athletic fee will be increased (President Roark hopes this fee does not go to a student vote, to avoid the hard feelings, etc. that happened last time)

We are also reviewing the current sexual harassment brochure that the AA office sends out to all new faculty and employees. If anyone has one, look at it and if there is something that you think needs changing let me know.

We discussed whether or not to continue the requirement that professional appointees have a minimum of a bachelorís degree. We all agreed that there should be some distinction between classified and professional positions-being the BA/BS degree.

Also reviewing the ADA compliance report for MSU. Looking at the complaints that have been made about buildings on campus and what progress has been made to bring them into compliance. If anyone has suggestions or questions on these compliance things let me know.

In case the CEPAC meeting is the same time as our next meeting, here's what transpired today:

1. Delivery Carts: ITC is considering purchasing and using delivery

carts for transporting computers and equipment from different buildings

on campus when repairs are requested.

Before approval, UFPB would like to address certain issues:

1. where it will be stored during 5 p.m. & 8 a.m.;

2. where and when they can be drive;

3. training of staff who drive the carts;

4. what needs is there for having the carts;

5. what type of carts (i.e. motor, electric, size);

6. would they be used instead of regular vehicles/trucks;

7. where would they be kept during work hours of 8-5.

2. Display of art, architecture and engineering student projects.

UFPB approved hanging panels at Haynes (finals week only). This is a

thesis project.

UFPB approved display of sculpture in front of the heating plant on

Sept. 21 (1 day only). This is a thesis project.

3. Permanent Art.

ROTC is requesting they be allowed to paint a mural on the wall adjacent

to the ROTC offices in Hamilton Hall.

UFPB requests ROTC give more details on the type of mural, and if

approved ROTC must be aware that they would be required to restore the

walls with paint if they move, etc.

4. Challenge Course and Obstacle Course

A site south of the outdoor running track by the football stadium has

been recommended for consideration of an Obstacle Course and Challenge

Course.

After discussion, the UFPB approved the location of the two courses.

5. Antenna for AJM Johnson

Mountain Resource Center has been given approval to have an antenna

placed on the Roof of AJM Johnson. This was previously approved by the

Abbreviated Board. Rose Waldon asked that they make sure the antenna

placement does not interfere with classes held on the roof for Physics

101, 311 etc.

6. Antenna for KGLT

The Abbreviated Board recommended approval of a new antenna for KGLT.

7. Antenna for Touch America

Touch America has proposed a wireless networking service for Bozeman and

has approached MSU for locating their equipment on campus (Leon Johnson

Roof). They are proposing that this will benefit the University and

details will be presented to the Planning Board.

UFPB asks that we see more of their proposal, how it would benefit the

university, what space requirements they need (office space for

equipment), etc. UFPB would also like to know if there are departments

on campus who would also benefit from the Touch America wireless

networking, and invite them to the meeting when the proposal is

presented so they can inquire also.

8. Naming of the Animal Resource Center.

A professor on campus has suggested naming the ARC after an emeritus

professor who was very instrumental in that facility.

The current naming guidelines were discussed. It was suggested that the

emeritus professor be contacted to make sure he wants the building named

after him, and UFPB be given copies and review policies on naming of

buildings.
